He served in the Air Force at March Air Force Base near Riverside CA where he met his wife of 52 years, Crystal. The couple resided in Idaho where Eldon and his father and brothers owned Tiny and Sons Construction and Farm. He was later self-employed in the mobile home transport business.

He was a longtime member of Immanuel Lutheran Church in Twin Falls, ID where he served as Sunday School Superintendent, sang in the choir and worship teams, and was active in the Lutheran Laymen's League, serving as district and zone officer. Eldon loved music and was an accomplished banjo and guitar player. He instilled in his children a respect for music, an honorable work ethic, and a great love for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He is remembered as a man you couldn't help but like and one who left God's blessings with all he came in contact with. Eldon loved his country and was a great patriot and prayer warrior for our nation. He was preceded in death by his mother, father, and loving Aunt Clara.
